At the request of Senator Jeter Connelly Pritchard, President Roosevelt stops at Marshall, North Carolina, and addresses the gathered people, whom he says he is even more pleased to see than the beautiful countryside. He tells them he is coming from a convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and that he has always liked railroad workers since their qualities are those of a good citizen. He closes by noting the positive impact to a president of visiting different parts of the country, as it shows that “a good American is a good American wherever he is.”
